Morocco earthquake damages two historic synagogues
One of the historic synagogues damaged by the quake was built by Sephardic Jews in 1492
Two synagogues in Marrakech’s old city sustained damage in the earthquake, Israeli Rabbi Doron Danino, who was in the city over the weekend, told The Jerusalem Post, in Morocco’s deadliest earthquake in six decades.
Damage to historic buildings
Overwhelmed by the ordeal, Danino expressed, "The buildings around me are in ruins. The quake's ferocity was unparalleled, and its duration felt interminable." He added, "Interestingly, the newer districts seemed to have weathered the quake better."Rabbi Danino's visit to Marrakech was part of an Israeli rabbinical delegation aimed at fostering interfaith relations in Morocco.
